The Lorenz Attractor Exists

چکیده

We prove that the Lorenz equations support a strange attractor, as conjectured by Ed-ward Lorenz in 1963. We also prove that the attractor is robust, i.e., it persists under small perturbations of the coeecients in the underlying diierential equations. The proof is based on a combination of normal form theory and rigorous numerical computations.

New Chaotic Regimes in the Lorenz and Chen Systems

has been much studied for positive values of its parameters (a, b, c) and has chaotic solutions for typical parameters of (35, 3, 28). Recently, Algaba et al. [2013] have shown that the Chen system has only two independent parameters a/c and b/c and that it is identical to the reversed-time Lorenz system for c > 0 and to the forward-time Lorenz system for c < 0 in the parameter plane ρ + σ = −1...

Noise-induced Escape from the Lorenz Attractor

Noise-induced escape from a quasi-hyperbolic attractor in the Lorenz system is investigated via an analysis of the distributions of both the escape trajectories and the corresponding realizations of the random force. It is shown that a unique escape path exists, and that it consists of three parts with noise playing a different role in each. It is found that the mechanism of the escape from a q...

The Chen System Revisited

This note points out that the assertions of [“Chen’s attractor exists if Lorenz repulsor exists: The Chen system is a special case of the Lorenz system,” CHAOS 23, 033108 (2013)] are groundless and incorrect. The failure of that criticism actually supports the strong standing of the Chen system.

We describe some recent results on the dynamics of singular-hyperbolic (Lorenz-like) attractors Λ introduced in [25]: (1) there exists an invariant foliation whose leaves are forward contracted by the flow; (2) there exists a positive Lyapunov exponent at every orbit; (3) attractors in this class are expansive and so sensitive with respect to initial data; (4) they have zero volume if the flow ...
